Since I ran this on Win2000 machine, I changed name of directory:
You were right on the money with your code; just a minor mod or two was
required:
<?php
$i=0; // counter
$files = array(); // array to store directory content
// open directory
$dir = opendir("c:\\wbs\\");
// loop through directory and put filenames into an array
while ($filex = readdir($dir)) {
$files[$i] = $filex;
$i++;
// pull $file (directory array into select box)
$file_count .="<OPTION VALUE=\"$filex\">$filex</OPTION>\n";
}
$form = "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"blank.php3\">\n".
"<SELECT NAME=\"files\">$file_count</SELECT>\n".
"<INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\" VALUE=\"select\">\n".
"</FORM></p>";
// close directory
closedir($dir);
print $form;
?>
outputs the following:
<p><FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="blank.php3">
<SELECT NAME="files"><OPTION VALUE=".">.</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="..">..</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="activities.txt">activities.txt</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="addwbs.php3">addwbs.php3</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="classWBS.php">classWBS.php</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="funcs.inc">funcs.inc</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="link.php">link.php</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="snoopy.inc">snoopy.inc</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="wbs.sql">wbs.sql</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="wbsconv.php">wbsconv.php</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="wbsform.php3">wbsform.php3</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="wbsload.sql">wbsload.sql</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="wbspkg.php3">wbspkg.php3</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="wbsproject.csv">wbsproject.csv</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="wbsproject.mpp">wbsproject.mpp</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="xx.php">xx.php</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="select">
</FORM></p>

Subject: [PHP] Directory to array to select box...
Ok here is my problem, for one I am new to php and would like a new pair of
eyes for this piece of code, and second what I would like to accomplish is
putting the contents of a directory into an array and then pulling the
contents of that array into a select box for further processing... If
someone could give me some more information on GetDirArray() or a different
way to accomplish this problem that would be great... this is where I am
thus far.
<?php
$i=0; // counter
$files = array(); // array to store directory content
// open directory
$dir = opendir("/home/web/b/bignickel.net/htdocs/");
// loop through directory and put filenames into an array
while ($file = readdir($dir)) {
$files[$i] = $file;
$i++;
}
// pull $file (directory array into select box)
$file_count .="<OPTION VALUE=\"$file\">$file</OPTION>";
$form = "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"blank.php3\">
<SELECT NAME=\"files\">$file_count</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\" VALUE=\"select\">
</FORM></p>";
// close directory
closedir($dir);
?>
Then of course I just use an echo to display the select box but so far I
have not been able to have it actually work so any help would be great..
Thanks in advance,
jas
